BTW, just in case it wasn't clear: the Disney ASL song remakes were not AI generated or anything like that. Just a ton of hard work from a dedicated team of artists and TDs who cared deeply about doing this properly, with ASL choreography by the Deaf West Theatre.
My wife was one of the TDs who worked on this! Believe you me, things got weird with resurrecting the 8+ year old Frozen 2 pipeline; we're not even on the same OS as back then.

@yiningkarlli Ah, yes. Frozen 2. 8 years old. Hmm.

@yiningkarlli very cool! Although I’ve been wondering why it doesn’t have the visemes/lipsync anymore? I thought keeping them would be more inclusive for people that supplement signing ability with lip reading

@yiningkarlli@mastodon.gamedev.place I didn't know this was a thing! I absolutely adore Deaf West's production of Spring Awakening so I'm glad to see that they're getting some good gigs still
